Worth it

Ana is and was super professional and practical in her advice. She helped us with Probate and with a living trust. The process was easy and stress free. It was nice that she had a flat fee rate on her website and we could book online for both of the things we needed help with. It is also interesting ...that Ana M. Pace grew up in Farmersville since I am located in Collin County and close to Farmersville. Small world. Would highly recommend such a transparent and down to earth firm.

Ana Pace is the Gold Standard!

Ana Pace, is the Gold Standard when it comes to Estate Planning and Probate. This is her, "wheelhouse " and she is an expert that i will use time and time again should the need arise.I wish I had enlisted her services when I first started my mother's estate probate process in August of 2020. Instead,... I hired an attorney who put on a good show, but had zero expertise in the Estate Probate ring. I was constantly fed excuses as to the probate hold ups, and I was being billed for every single issue that arose which resulted in a constant redo of paperwork and petition letters. I was assigned 4 different attorneys from within the firm and everytime a new attorney was assigned, the entire process started all over, however, I was still being charged and billed every month. After 2 1/2 years and $15,000.00, I literally had zero to show for and I was no closer to a court date to determine executorship of my mother's estate. I was feeling as if the process would never end. Upon a recommendation froma close friend, I arranged a consultation and met with Ana to determine, "what are my options, and where can I go from here." Having just spent $15k and lost 2 1/2 years in the process, I didn't think there was much hope and that I was stuck with what I had. I was never more wrong, Ana, was that reaching hand that saved me when I was drowning. Ana thoroughly explained the process to me and what she could do to rectify the jumbled up mess my previous attorney had created. Almost instantly, I experienced a sense of calm come over me, this is the attorney I should've hired to begin with. While most attorneys dabble in matters across the board, and nickel and dime you at every step, Ana specializes in Estate matters and walks you through every process along the way charging a low flat rate. There were no hidden surprises, no additional fees for redrafting or re-filing of papers/letters due to attorney mistakes. I am so very thankful Ana was able to salvage my case from my previous attorney. Ana was not only able to salvage the mess but she additionally got my case before the courts and successfully completed my wishes in a very short time at a fraction of what I had previously paid. If there is one piece of advice I can give to the individual(s) reading this review; give Ana a call and let her do what she specializes in...deliver results! Thank you Ana for all of your dedication and hard work.

Estate Planning - Hired Attorney

After reading that over 60% of Americans do not have an estate plan, I researched the internet and found Attorney, Ana Hernandez-Pace. I read her reviews and scheduled a free consultation before hiring her. The reviews hit the mark! Ana demonstrated that she has the legal experience and expertise i...n estate planning at a reasonable rate. She evaluates your family situation, discusses your goals, and recommends an estate plan that fits your specific needs. A true professional! Thanks Ana for all your assistance.

Knowledgable, Professional and complete

My wife and I just worked with Ana on setting up our wills and trust. It was a pleasure to work with such a wonderful person / attorney, who genuinely cared about us and setting up exactly what we needed. If your looking for an attorney to set up your wills, who is extremely knowledgable and who will... do a thorough and complete job at a good price, then search no more. Call Ana. You'll be glad you did.

Easy Estate Planning at a Great Price!

Ana Pace was fabulous to work with for my husband's and my Estate Planning. She was knowledgeable and made the process as simple as possible. She made sure to ask all the important questions and ease our minds that updates can be made easily as things change in our lives. She even gave us advice abou...t how to set up our bank accounts to not get locked out in the event of one of our deaths. And we were provided with helpful worksheets to fill out for our executors so they know where, and how to notify different parties of our passing. Facing one's mortality is never an easy thing, but it is a lot easier to set things up when you are younger than waiting until it is too late, and Ana is great at making you think about who you trust to handle things when you are gone. Ana had the best price for the full Estate Planning package, well below what others charge for the same documents!
